"
Pecha Kucha (pronounced peh-chak-cha)
You get a MAXimum of 20 slides.
NO bullets
Only images, maps, charts, etc.
AND - each slide goes on a 20 second timer, so when you start your slideshow you start talking, 'cuz 20 seconds later the slide is changing.
Total time = 6 min 40 sec

Turns the kids from screen-readers to story tellers IMMEDIATELY.

Ignite
Same rules as Pecha Kucha, but each slide is on a 15 second time.
Total time per presentation is 5 minutes - and lots of sites open up to you when you're at that 5 minute point.
